The separation $\del$ between two peaks in the gamma-ray pulse profile is calculated as a function of energy for several polar cap models with curvature-radiation-induced cascades. The Monte Carlo results are interpreted with the help of…
Pulsed emission from gamma-ray pulsars originates inside the magnetosphere, from radiation by charged particles accelerated near the magnetic poles or in the outer gaps. In polar cap models, the high energy spectrum is cut off by magnetic…
The study of pulsars in the three and a half decades since their discovery has highlighted a handful of issues critical to their understanding. To date there is no consensus on the physical mechanism for their radio radio emission, despite…
The study of physical processes associated with particle acceleration in the open field line region above the polar cap (PC) of an isolated neutron star (NS) plays a fundamental role in our understanding and interpretation of high-energy…
(abridged) Thanks to the recent discovery by Fermi of about fifty new gamma-ray pulsars, it becomes possible to look for statistical properties of their pulsed high-energy emission, especially their light-curves and phase-resolved spectra.…
The Vela pulsar is one of the most exciting gamma-ray sources and has been at the forefront of high-energy pulsar science since the detection of gamma-ray pulsations at the radio period by SAS-2 in 1975. With the unprecedented angular…
We have detected pulsed emission from the Vela pulsar at 2 - 30 keV during a 93 ks observation with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The RXTE pulse profile shows two peaks, that are roughly in phase with the EGRET peaks, but does not…
We have used a Monte Carlo simulation of a Polar Cap (PC) model of gamma-ray pulsars to estimate light curves and phase-resolved spectra for sources whose rotational and magnetic axes are oriented so that only one of the magnetic poles…
Gamma-ray observations have established energetic isolated pulsars as outstanding particle accelerators and antimatter factories in the Galaxy. There is, however, no consensus regarding the acceleration mechanisms and the radiative…
The advent of the next generation of gamma-ray experiments, led by GLAST, AGILE, INTEGRAL and a host of atmospheric \v{C}erenkov telescopes coming on line in the next few years, will enable ground-breaking discoveries relating to the…
We present spectra of pulsed gamma-ray emission expected from millisecond pulsars within the framework of polar-cap models. The spectra are a superposition of three components due to curvature (CR), synchrotron (SR), and Compton…
We report the results of the spectral and timing analysis of observations of the Vela pulsar with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The spectrum shows no statistically significant spectral lines in the observed 0.25--8.0 keV band. It consists…
We compute the variation of the beaming fraction with the efficiency of high energy gamma-ray production in the outer gap pulsar model of Romani and Yadigaroglu. This allows us to correct the fluxes observed for pulsars in the EGRET band…
In recent years, surprise discoveries of pulsed emission from the Crab and Vela pulsars above 100 GeV have drawn renewed attention to this largely unexplored region of the energy range. In this paper, we discuss example light curves due to…
We investigate, in terms of production from pulsars and their nebulae, the cosmic ray positron and electron fluxes above $\sim10$ GeV, observed by the AMS-02 experiment up to 1 TeV. We concentrate on the Vela-X case. Starting from the…
A two-dimensional electrodynamic model is used to study particle acceleration and non-thermal emission mechanisms in the pulsar magnetospheres. We solve distribution of the accelerating electric field with the emission process and the…
Pulsed emission from the Vela pulsar at energies above 3 TeV has recently been detected by the H.E.S.S. II air-Cherenkov telescope. We present a model for the broad-band spectrum of Vela from infra-red (IR) to beyond 10 TeV. Recent…
In the advent of next generation gamma-ray missions, we present general properties of spectral features of high-energy emission above $1\MeV$ expected for a class of millisecond, low magnetic field ($\sim 10^9\G$) pulsars. We extend…
The characteristics of the high-energy emission from polar cap accelerators will be discussed. Particles accelerated in the "slot gap" near the polar cap rim will reach altitudes of several stellar radii before initiating pair cascades,…
The high-quality Fermi LAT observations of gamma-ray pulsars have opened a new window to understanding the generation mechanisms of high-energy emission from these systems. The high statistics allow for careful modeling of the light curve…
